Common questions in Durrants
Do you come out to small places like Durrants?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
